According to industry commentary from Subsea Micropiles, geological conditions in the Celtic Sea are emerging as a key factor shaping offshore wind development in the region, particularly for foundation and anchoring design. Developers targeting the Celtic Sea face seabed conditions that differ from many existing offshore wind markets, including shallow overburden above bedrock, demanding metocean conditions and high loading requirements. These factors are expected to affect both floating and fixed-bottom offshore wind projects planned at large scale.

A study of the Tahkoluoto offshore wind farm in Finland suggests that bird flight behaviour may adapt over time in the presence of offshore wind turbines. The research, Finland’s first bird radar-based study on offshore wind, was carried out through collaboration between Suomen Hyötytuuli and One Planet. It analysed bird movement patterns before and after turbine construction and is based on data collected between 2017 and 2021, covering around 2.83 million recorded flights.
